With the emergence of Keon Ellis, adding a defensive type of big man in McGee and our key bench big Trey Lyles still yet to suit up. Damn, are we STACKED.

Starting 5: Fox, Huerter, Barnes, Murray, Sabonis (proven Top 3 worthy)

First bench: Ellis, Monk, Duarte, Lyles (I’d assume he’s here based off last season), Len

3rd string (here is where it gets interesting): Mitchell, Jones, Edwards, Vezenkov, McGee

4th string: Ford, Slawsn, Petrusev

So, we basically have a 6th man of the year candidate (which means a Top 5 bench player in this league in Malik), A situational Duarte to shutdown an opposition with a superstar guard and Lyles which is easily our 7th man and could be a starter too with how people are clamouring for Barnes to get dropped (in which case Barnes on the bench is also a luxury).

Then we have the Euroleague MVP as a THIRD stringer, our former 2nd PG Mitchell playing behind Ellis and McGee our defensive big there as well (considering Len was getting more minutes recently before he goes down injured).

Mitchell, Vezenkov, McGee as 3rd string feels like such a luxury tbh. WE ARE MASSIVE!

    McGee and Len have probably played the same amount of games with the second string, and McGee is likely to blow that split out of the water with Len out 6-8 weeks. Sasha also feels more like a second string than a third. But yeah, massive depth. Different pieces that can do different things, play different matchups.
